Another week and we're getting closer and closer to the holidays. Midterms are this week, so everyone should be working on their notebook's organization.

In Literature 9 we finished discussing "The Leader," the importance of stage directions, and how to draw conclusions. We will be finishing our drama unit prior to Thanksgiving.

In English 10 we finally finished our demonstrations speeches. Boy I learned A LOT. We have to work on our previews and grabbing our attention. We did well with our signpost "in conclusion", but we need to incorporate more numerical signposts. We will be working for the next week and half on the next informative speech. We will begin those presentations immediately after Thanksgiving.

In American Government we reviewed who the "people" are in popular sovereignty. We also talked at great length about federalism. That's three of the reasons our Constitution has lasted so long. We'll get to the other three on Wednesday.

Happy Monday everyone!
